Glossary

A
access control	See ACI.
instruction
access control list	See ACL.
access rights	In the context of access control, specify the level of access granted or denied. Access rights are
	related to the type of operation that can be performed on the directory. The following rights
	can be granted or denied: read, write, add, delete, search, compare, selfwrite, proxy and all.
account	Disables a user account, group of accounts, or an entire domain so that all authentication
inactivation	attempts are automatically rejected.
ACI	An instruction that grants or denies permissions to entries in the directory.
	See also access control instruction.
ACL	The mechanism for controlling access to your directory.
	See also access control list.
All IDs Threshold	Replaced with the ID list scan limit in Directory Server version 7.1. A size limit which is globally
	applied to every index key managed by the server. When the size of an individual ID list reaches
	this limit, the server replaces that ID list with an All IDs token.
	See also ID list scan limit.
All IDs token	A mechanism which causes the server to assume that all directory entries match the index key.
	In effect, the All IDs token causes the server to behave as if no index was available for the search
	request.
anonymous	When granted, allows anyone to access directory information without providing credentials,
access	and regardless of the conditions of the bind.
approximate	Allows for efficient approximate or "sounds-like" searches.
index
attribute	Holds descriptive information about an entry. Attributes have a label and a value. Each attribute
	also follows a standard syntax for the type of information that can be stored as the attribute
	value.
attribute list	A list of required and optional attributes for a given entry type or object class.
authenticating	In pass-through authentication (PTA), the authenticating Directory Server is the Directory
directory server	Server that contains the authentication credentials of the requesting client. The PTA-enabled
	host sends PTA requests it receives from clients to the host.
authentication	(1) Process of proving the identity of the client user to the Directory Server. Users must provide
	a bind DN and either the corresponding password or certificate in order to be granted access
	to the directory. Directory Server allows the user to perform functions or access files and
	directories based on the permissions granted to that user by the directory administrator.
	(2) Allows a client to make sure they are connected to a secure server, preventing another
	computer from impersonating the server or attempting to appear secure when it is not.
authentication	Digital file that is not transferable and not forgeable and is issued by a third party. Authentication
certificate	certificates are sent from server to client or client to server in order to verify and authenticate
	the other party.
B
base	See base DN.
distinguished
name
base DN	Base distinguished name. A search operation is performed on the base DN, the DN of the entry
	and all entries below it in the directory tree.
